Music 4 Studios has received a prestigious nomination for the newly created "Radio & Music Awards". Live music’s growing presence on UK radio is to be recognised with the debut of two awards at The Radio Academy’s forthcoming Radio & Music Forum on Friday the 27th of March 2009.

The conference and award ceremony, which is being staged in association with Music Week, will include the first presentation of both a live music award for a concert broadcast on the radio and the studio session award.

Music 4 Studios has received a nomination in the "Studio Session" category for a session recorded with Grammy and Brit award winner Adele for broadcast on a number of local and regional stations.

Radio Academy director Trevor Dann says the purpose of the awards is to reflect the different skills needed to translate the live music experience onto the radio. “The entries certainly compare very well to the numbers put in for a Sony award”.

We'll keep you posted on how we do but whatever the outcome, we're delighted to have received our nomination alongside BBC 6 Music and XFM.
